Redid
the infamous leg grab shot between Lauren and Johnny. (Was out
of focus from a couple of weeks back because of the yet undiscovered
back focus problem.) Johnny had no problem fondling Lauren's
leg at this point, I think I've shot the sequence on film and
video at least 5 times. Then shot a couple of close-ups of Lauren
reacting to Dan's webcam spiel in his office. I also realized
that I never got any close-ups of Juliet/Amanda reacting to
HER computer when Dan is supposed to send her a message. I'm
hoping to find a generic shot of her rolling her eyes, but in
addition, I shot her office empty, so Dan could be sending his
stupid message to no one. Might read funnier that way, dunno...will
hafta see in editing.
Did a series of extreme
close ups of the bomb with a pair of pliers cutting the wire
which Rob/Darby is supposed to be doing in his scene. Good thing
I ended up with one prime wide angle lens that I got with the
camera. It focuses to about 2 inches in front of the lens. That
was about it, pretty easy day.
The plan from here
is to finish/redo the original Geoff and John sequences that
we shot on the first weekend. (They ended up dark, fuzzy and
scratched.) Tried to contact the Mass Film Office. It's now
time to seriously find a coffeehouse and nightclub. Apparently
the Mass Film Office has lists of locations which cater to indie film
makers, which would be a cool thing to have access to, since
I COULD just approach businesses and sell them on the idea of
having us film there, but once they see what it's all about,
I doubt if they would want us there for long. If I find people
who actually WANT the abuse of having people film there, I wouldn't
feel as bad if they start to get annoyed if we start to take
too long. Hafta see what comes up.
Also bought the Bond
boys a couple of WBCN River Rave tickets. I'm planning on going
with my girlfriend Therese, so I figured they might like to
tag along. I've been offering to buy them beer, firecrackers,
cigarettes and dirty magazines for helping me out, but they
keep refusing. (What the hell's wrong with the youth of America
today?) :-) Starting to feeling guilty about all the work they've
put into this project, so I figure this might be a nice gesture
of my gratitude.
